30K throttle service

[jaggurnaut]

Sorry for disappearing (internet problems). Got the 30K service + Throttle body cleanup and MAF cleanup for $400 at the only toyota dealer for 50 miles in this backwaters of West Virginia (just moved here from Chicago). Donno any reliable third party service centers and dont even have a place to do DIY services 'cos i live in an apartment with gravel road-side parking. So I am eating it for now. I envy all you guys with your 'garages' and 'driveways'.

You got scammed! If you look at your maintenence schedule booklet, and if what the dealer says cannot be reconciled to it, then it is probably not necessary. Did they fix a problem? Was your car problem free when you took it there? You got screwed....if you paid with a credit card, place the charge on hold and put it in dispute....then negociate with the dealer for a much lower price.

Don't be so foolish next time...

Talking about the schedule book....mine got ruined....anyone know if a PDF for it? I am not really concerned with the warranty stuff as I have a good rapport with the dealer here. I just want to know what the schedule is...thanks in advance if anyone has anything.
